Stock Turbo PSI HELP

Nally7.3Powerstroke · #1 (**permalink**) 05-31-2009, 11:52 AM

How much pressure can my stop 7.3 turbo handle safely??? I want to put out a good amount of boost but not have to worry about my turbo coming apart. I have the DP Tuner, Wicked Wheel, Banks Big Head Actuator, and ITP's boost annihilator. What kinda numbers can I see guys?

I know a few guys hitting 30 with custom tunes like you

I can hit 28 with 80hp econo Dp tune and stock turbo and wastegate. Haven't even tried to watch boost with 140hp extreme tune. I get bad surge towing and want either a housing or WW and bigger wastegate!!

I would keep it at 28psi make your turbo last any higher and u are out of the turbos map and making more heat and loss of power!!!!
